...because Tennessee Williams does have the audacity of his own peculiar and tormented vision that Kalem finds him stimulating as a playwright and sympathetic as a man. They talked together for about ten hours, often in Kalem's Greenwich Village duplex, along with Researcher Anne Hollister and Mrs. Kalem (who used to be a TIME books researcher until she married Kalem and became the mother of two children). Their sessions went so well that the resulting cover story may not provide the best illustration of one of Kalem's favorite definitions (by the late Critic Percy Hammond): "Dramatic...
...closed the play. In the next four years, Williams collected the job labels that are pasted on the luggage of itinerant U.S. writers. He worked as a restaurant cashier, usher in Manhattan's Strand Theater, Teletype operator, apartment-house elevator operator, and as a poetry-reciting waiter in Greenwich Village's Beggar Bar-where he wore a black eye patch with a libidinous white eye painted on it; he had undergone the first of four eye operations. Moving on to Hollywood, he wrote unused film scripts for MGM, until he was fired. One of the scripts was titled...
Misty Majesty. This crisp elegance also appears in Edward Dayes's Greenwich Hospital. Dayes's method was to draw in the outline of his composition first, then concentrate on light and shadow, and finally fill in the color.

Even in Washington, where political humor has heretofore been of the unconscious kind, four night spots are now flourishing with topical jokesters. Manhattan's The Premise has just opened a Washington outpost, where distinguished audiences (including, on occasion, Vice President Lyndon Johnson, Senators Hubert Humphrey, Mike Mansfield, Kenneth Keating, "Scoop" Jackson) have...
...Doren pleaded guilty like all the others, and like all the others he was given a suspended sentence (he might have had to spend up to three years in jail). Flashbulbs popped in his face once more, and he retreated to his $50,000 house on Bleecker Street in Greenwich Village, where he can throw open his French doors and walk in the small world of a semiprivate garden. "Charlie doesn't come out very much," says a neighbor...
